Hermann Hesse
  • As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.

  • People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

  • The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

  • To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.

  • I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
